It is important that all students are in class and ready to begin before the tardy bell rings at 7:20 AM Students arriving to school between 7:20 AM and 12:07 PM must sign-in in the attendance office. Failure to abide by this rule disrupts the learning environment and will result in disciplinary action. Jones High School’s tardy policy is as follows:

Students assigned to ABS will not be allowed to participate in any extracurricular activities Upon receiving an excused or unexcused pass to class the student will proceed immediately to their class and give the pass to the appropriate teacher.

Please note: state law excuses only two reasons for arriving tardy to school:

Court appointment—student must provide papers, and

Doctor’s appointment—student must provide doctor’s note.

Students are not allowed to enter school after 12:07 PM unless the student can provide court papers or a doctor’s note.
